The massive national effort to return the Medicaid enrollment process to its pre-pandemic rules starting in April 2023 may have disrupted the care of people receiving treatment for opioid addiction, a new University of Michigan study suggests.
The BCG vaccine protects against tuberculosis, but by inducing trained immunity it also protects against many more respiratory infections. International research led by Radboud University Medical Center shows how this process works. Lactate, a product of scaled-up energy production, appears to play a leading role.
Researchers at the University of Turku have participated in a study in which vaccinating women with acellular pertussis vaccine in pregnancy boosted the quantity and quality of pertussis-specific antibodies in the early life of infants.
Our brains begin to create internal representations of the world around us from the first moment we open our eyes. We perceptually assemble components of scenes into recognizable objects thanks to neurons in the visual cortex.
Insomnia, depression, and anxiety are the most common mental disorders. Treatments are often only moderately effective, with many people experiencing returning symptoms. This is why it is crucial to find new leads for treatments. Notably, these disorders overlap a lot, often occurring together. Could there be a shared brain mechanism behind this phenomenon?
The future of electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring may soon look like a strand of hair. In place of the traditional metal electrodes, a web of wires and sticky adhesives, a team of researchers from Penn State created a hairlike device for long-term, non-invasive monitoring of the brain's electrical activity. The lightweight and flexible electrode attaches directly to the scalp and delivers stable, high-quality recordings of the brain's signals.
Despite decades of public health messaging, Canadians are spending more time in the sun and using less sun protection—raising alarms among researchers as melanoma cases continue to climb.
Around the world, people are starting to engage in outdoor activities after a winter spent largely indoors and perhaps with less physical activity than during more temperate seasons. In other climates, people may be starting an indoor, less-active time. Gosia Wamil, M.D., Ph.D., a cardiologist at Mayo Clinic Health care in London, offers five tips to protect your heart when you spring into action after a sedentary period.
New analysis from the EARLY TAVR trial showed patients between the age of 65 and 70 years old derived the most benefits of a strategy of early intervention with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) compared to other age groups, especially in regards to stroke risk, and in regards to the composite of death, stroke, and heart failure hospitalization. The late-breaking results were presented today at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) 2025 Scientific Sessions.
New data from a large, international registry showed balloon-assisted anterior mitral leaflet modification (BATMAN) was safe, effective, and resulted in shorter procedure times among patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). The data were presented today as late-breaking clinical research at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) 2025 Scientific Sessions.
The University of Glasgow-led study, run in partnership with the NSPCC and other universities, looked at improving the mental health of almost 500 children aged 0–5 years in foster and kinship care. It highlighted that authoritative and consistent oversight of a child's journey through the care system was crucial in safeguarding children's well-being.
Sexual minority men on the receiving end of intimate partner violence also have worse mental health outcomes including depression, suicide ideation, and suicide attempts, according to a new meta-analysis by UConn professor Chenglin Hong.
When technology makes doctors more accessible, it can lead to lower quality for patients and increased pressure on already stressed doctors, says Magnus Wanderås. Wanderås has worked as a general practitioner himself and completed a doctorate on the topic at the University of Agder (UiA).
About 6.7 million adults in the U.S. are living with heart failure, and that number is expected to increase to more than 8 million by 2030.
New research from Bayes Business School, in collaboration with biopharmaceuticals company Merck KGaA, suggests member states from the European Union (EU) must work more closely together, provide better incentives for the development of new medicines and approve access to medicines quicker than other international regulators, if it is to attract greater investment from pharmaceutical companies.
